Another ADAY4U for the record books

February 22, 2018 | SHARE:

This year’s ADAY4U was another one-day fundraiser for the record books.

The goal was to reach 1,795 donors in a single day, which would unlock an additional $200 per gift from the Union trustees. While numbers continue to be finalized, 2,414 donors gave $365,683. Including the trustee match $482,800, donors gave a total of $848,483 to the College's Annual Fund Wednesday.

President Stephen C. Ainlay stopped by Reamer Campus Center to make his ADAY4U gift, and Garnet Society students presented him with a book of thank you notes for he and his wife, Judith Gardner Ainlay. Through June 30, the College is running “Drive for $5M,” which is an opportunity for the campus community to show their support and say thank you to the Ainlays for their contributions.

Throughout ADAY4U, members of the Union community, including alumni, parents, students, faculty and staff, expressed their school pride online using the #ADAY4U hashtag. Top alumni classes in total donors included 1973, 1992 and 2012.
